The Ghost in my machine an hallucination of where I have been and echoes of my past . Of loved ones lost in a dream , Take good care , it's been fun , Thanks for the chat , and in no time at all , They've all gone again . Your very kind , Thanks for your help , These platitudes really matter . And time goes by and you and I , Keep sailing on from shore to shore With two ores , Unlike an owl and ***** cats romance by the sand , there's no full moon , Or money wrapped in honey . Just an endless fools singing love songs Singing love songs for a weeping heart forever .
